WHAT
- Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at a rally in PA.
TRUMPS STATEMENT
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

Must the Democrats champion good manners ALL the time? Jesus Christ he’s a fascist! Fuck good sportsmanship!
Who the fuck are you trying to impress? Who’s going to consider this the moment they vote for Biden over Trump?
“Violence has no place in America.”
Cops killing citizens. Native genocide. Genocide in Palestine. Protesters being beaten. People using their “rights” being arrested and killed. Slow socially accepted murder caused by poverty. Rights for Queer youth being taken away, which leads to self harm.
Why do they just give “thoughts and prayers” to Hitler 2.0? Trump isn’t going to be kind with this, he’ll start saying every Democrat is responsible for this. Fuck the “higher moral ground”.

That makes so much sense! Hitler had to commit suicide because no one else could execute him without risking losing the moral high ground! I can’t believe I never realized that!
